With enough practice you'll get there eventually

And a bigger salary, just found out that Photoshop is about 10 times more expensive than Paintshop Pro. With Paintshop I have 80% of the Photoshop features for 10% of the price, but it'll never by a winner though.

There is when you can get it for free

I know, used to do that much, but I now prefer legal ones as some people at some point have worked very hard on that program for a long time.

why dont you use GNU software ? like the GIMP, wich is a GNU very similar to photoshop or paintshop, but its free to download, open source and safe. based on the GTK visual programming and also theres a compatible with linux.

the effects you can make on gimp are really awesome.

I use Photo Plus 6 for my messing around. Once you work out some functions its quite handy. However photoshop and paintshot pro are of course much better.

Excellent Chris !!! Could you show some examples?

 

[Njaco]

Sure!

First I open Paint program that comes with every Bill Gates computer. Create a font and save as a .jpg. The block or CK fonts are good because they have two elements to the font.

Then open GIMP and open the font.jpg and add color or a pattern. I used a pattern on the second example to fill the font.

Then using the brush or paint bucket tool I changed the color of the outline. The third pic is the final I used for the Get Lucky thread I started.

It took alittle thinking outside the box.

You can also make one font a light grey or dark color. Paste into layer. Then make an exact same font with a different color and off-set over the first layered font to create a shadow effect.

 

[Wurger]

Cool.

njaco is a smart guy, he uses a GNU software, best things of life are free ! he took off my human dignity, but i cant deny he is THE real artist.

you right njaco gnu is tha best !

 

[Njaco]

Thanks. It took awhile to think it through and get used to the program. But what am I gonna do? take it back and complain!!

 

[Heinz]

I'd ask for a full refund Chris
